My beloved Kogepan is becoming more and more hard to find! I got these pencils on New Years Day after going for dim sum. China town was bustling like it was a regular day, and I realised it was, since Chinese new year is later on. Anyway, no stickers or little things to be found. There was one fuzzy key chain Kogepan, but it was $5.99 and I was feeling cheap. I don't even really use pencils that much, but how could I resist?

Pretty newAudubon stamps. I love the birdy color test part at the edge of the stamps.
Pictoplasma! The art of modern character design. Tons of cute cool creatures to look at.

for kogepan booty, i suggest Pacific Mall. Be prepared to lose your mind if you've never gone before (NE corner Steeles/Kennedy).

Love the pictoplasma site... I think we should all aim to get there for the conference in 2006 - looks like too much fun.
